While learning about some of the trends that can harm the family divorce is one of the ones I have personal experience with. Being from a divorced family I know some of the consequences that go along with it. The children do suffer in these situations. I was able to overcome the trials I had to go through, but because of the choices my mom made I don't know how to have a successful family. I know the things that I need to do, but I have no personal experience to say that what I think will work, will actually work. I'm not saying all children from divorced families will turn out confused and lost and more likely to fail in their future relationships. But I don't want people to think divorce isn't a serious problem. It not only hurts the people in the immediate family, but it also negatively affects the friends of the family as well. I see divorce as a disease. It keeps spreading and killing families. Something needs to be done to stop the spread of this horrible disease.

I agree that divorce is a serious problem. I think the biggest thing I have learned in my own experience Shelby is to remember that we aren't our parents and that we have the ability to become who we want and not who are parents are or what they were. I think one of our greatest combats is to not let fear persuade us from our happiness. My parents divorced themselves when I was about 11 years old. While fear was a part of my concern It actually has helped me in who I decided to marry. My parents biggest issue I felt viewing their divorce was lack of communication and that is what really caused them issues. I made this an important part of someone I was looking for and made sure that I could communicate with my future spouse. Also someone who would listen to me was important. I would take the things you learn and not necessarily put unrealistic expectations on an individual but things that you can do to have a successful marriage.
